This is a page from an art book I worked on over three months as part of my university course. I am uploading select pages here and the full project will be on my DeviantArt soon.
Its subject is an extinct animal that lived in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch, roughly 3 million to 50 000 years ago. Its subject is an extinct animal that lived in Australia during the Pleistocene epoch, roughly 3 million to 50 000 years ago. It is also known as the marsupial lion.

Huh. It had not actually occurred to me that they hadn't yet found the ancestry of them!
That aside, the art: Wow, you got a very nice mood to it with the use of black shadows on the brown paper, and the white, defining highlights look especially delightful on its tongue and chin (and whiskers <3 ).
Not really at my most coherent right now. Ver' pretty, I'm going to make vague grabby hands at the screen.

Huh? I think the info in that link might be old, I think they're pretty certain they're Vombatiformes now (in the same super-family as Diprotodon, which is also useless for explaining to people what it is). Wish I'd kept better notes; I've got a bibliography but not everything is foot-noted so I can't figure out which idea is the most recent. But yeah, it is tricky because so few animals leave fossils, so there isn't enough to trace its evolution.
